Interesting idea
Cold, hard reality: some industries are so critical to the economy (like us for example) that the cascading costs of not bailing them out are far worse than the bailouts. There's nothing fair or equitable about it, it just comes down to what can we not live without.
Politicians need to keep the economic golden goose alive.
Government bureaucrats need to keep the tax base goose alive.
